Definitions
- the present invention relates to multimedia communications. More particularly, the present invention relates to the efficient delivery of multimedia data to multicast group(s) over a diverse computer network.
- a point-to-point connection is provided by the network between the server and each client computer. From the network's perspective, this scheme is inefficient especially when similar content is delivered to a number of client computers.
- a more efficient method is to multicast “blindly” over the network without any feedback from the client computers, in a manner similar to a wireless television broadcast.
- One such conventional video encoding and decoding system is described in “An End-to-End Software only Scalable Video Delivery System,” published in Proc. Networks and Operating System Support for Digital Audio and Video, April 1995.
- the server Instead of establishing individual point-to-point connections for each client computer, the server multicasts an entire embedded stream for different resolutions and frame rates onto the network as a set of trees.
- the server has no idea about the decoders at the destinations” (page 136, lines 4-5) (emphasis added).
- Primary traffic management is performed by not adding branches of the trees carrying the less important bit streams to the lower bandwidth portions of the network.
- switches and routers of the network may react to temporary network congestion by dropping packets carrying the less important bits from the embedded stream.
- the server is incapable of adapting to the actual needs of individual and/or sub-groups of client computers. Packets carrying less important bits are sent to client computers so long as the corresponding portion of the network is capable of carrying the additional information. In other words, the server ignores the actual needs of the client computers. For example, a user at any particular client computer may not be interested in receiving a high resolution and/or a high frame rate video stream, even if the network is capable of supporting the higher bit stream.
- a particular client computer or its modem may be incapable of processing the higher resolution and/or faster frame rate video stream.
- a considerable amount of unused or underutilized information is wastefully multicasted over the network and unnecessarily consumes valuable network resources.
- LANs local area networks
- WANs wide area networks
- Multimedia data is provided by a server to the client computers includes a base layer and one or more enhancement layers. Enhancement layers can be spatial and/or temporal in nature. Depending on the implementation, the server may also provide information about the multimedia data to the client computers.
- the server splits the multimedia data for streaming via multiple multicast group (MMG) addresses.
- MMG multicast group
- Information about the portion of the multimedia data carried by each MMG is broadcasted to the client computers.
- client computers can intelligently join and leave MMGs as needed.
- the client computers provide feedback about the usage and/or need for the multimedia data, enabling the server to right-size, e.g., grow and/or prune, the multimedia data for network efficiency.
- the content of the base layer may be increased or decreased with the corresponding growing and pruning of the enhancement layers.
- Enhancement layers may also be grown and/or pruned independently of the base layer, i.e., without a corresponding change in the base layer.

- VQ vector quantization
- TSVQ tree-structured VQ
- codewords are arranged in a tree structure, and each input vector is successively mapped (from the root node) to the minimum distortion child node, thereby inducing a hierarchical partition, or a refinement of the input space as the depth of the tree increases. Because of the successive refinement, an input vector mapping to a leaf node can be represented with high precision by the path map from the root to the leaf, or with lower precision by any prefix of the path. Accordingly, TSVQ produces an embedded encoding of the data.
- FIG. 8 is a detailed block diagram showing one embodiment of server 210 and client computer 231 , representative of client computers 231 , 232 , . . . 239 . Accordingly, the following description of the operation of client computer 231 also applies to client computers 232 . . . 239 .
- Server 210 and client computer 231 are coupled to each other via computer network 220 which supports multicast addresses and multiple multicasts.
- Server 210 includes an encoder 812 , a source packetizer 814 and a source networking unit 816 .
- Encoder 812 includes a conditional replenishment unit, a Laplacian pyramid encoder with a tree structured hierarchical table lookup vector quantizer (TSHVQ) based on a perceptual distortion measure.
- Client computer 231 includes a decoder 836 , destination packetizer 834 and a destination networking unit 832 .
- Decoder 836 includes a table-lookup vector quantizer with support for color-convertion and dithering. Video decoding is performed on those blocks which change with respect to the previous frame.
- Encoder 812 can be any one of encoders 300 , 510
- decoder 836 can be any one of decoders 400 , 600 a.
- Server 210 executes the first stage of the encoding process, embedded conditional replenishment, in encoder 812 .
- the blocks which change are encoded using the Laplacian pyramid algorithm with the TSHVQ.
- Encoder 812 produces the indices for each layer as an embedded stream with different index planes.
- the first index plane contains the index for the rate 1/k TSHVQ codebook.
- the second index plane contains the additional index which along with the first index plane gives the index for the rate 2/k TSVQ codebook.
- the remaining index planes have part of the indices for 3/k, 4/k, . . . R/k TSVQ codebooks, respectively.
- encoder 812 advantageously produces indices with the embedded prioritized bit-stream. Subsequently, rate or bandwidth scalability can be achieved at client computer 231 by dropping index planes from the embedded bit-stream.
- source packetizer 814 packages the embedded bit-stream into a number of embedded video stream packets based on RTP protocol and appends the respective packet headers.
- source networking unit 816 can now split the embedded video stream packets into one or more multicast groups in accordance with the present invention.
- a first multicast group may receive spatial layers BP 4 to EP 16 and temporal layers T 1 to T 3
- a second multicast group receives spatial layers BP 4 to BP 8 and temporal layers T 1 to T 2 .
- client computer 231 intelligently decides which multicast (address) groups to dynamically join or leave. This is possible because server 210 periodically provides updated information to client computer 231 about the different multicast groups, their associated data transfer rates, which portion of the spatial-temporal embedded stream belongs to which MMG, and information about base layer(s) of the embedded stream.
- a network bandwidth estimation algorithm keeps track of the available network bandwidth of network 220 supporting the respective MMGs.
- One such network bandwidth estimation algorithm is described in pending U.S. patent application, Ser. No. 08/818,127, attorney docket number VXT — 706, entitled “Dynamic Bandwidth Selection for Efficient Transmission of Multimedia Streams in a Computer System” by Hemanth S. Ravi, assigned to VXtreme, Inc., and is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- client computer 231 is able to reliably predict both the cost and benefit of joining additional MMGs in addition to the MMG(s) client computer 231 has already joined. Accordingly, if there is network bandwidth available, then client computer 231 joins additional MMG(s) till the bandwidth associated with the MMGs is used up. Conversely, when client computer 231 detects that it is consuming more network bandwidth than is available, client computer 231 leaves some MMGs till the consumption of the network bandwidth is less than or equal to the available network bandwidth. In other words, client computer 231 attempts to efficiently maintain a healthy equilibrium between its need and the availability of the network bandwidth. As a result, the dynamic bandwidth adaptation of the present invention, accomplished by intelligently joining and/or leaving MMGs, advantageously reduces network congestion and packet losses, while optimizing the transfer rates.
- destination networking unit 832 splits the embedded bit stream packets into MMGs. Packets associated with the selected, i.e., joined, are depacketized by destination depacketizer 834 and provided to decoder 836 .
- Decoder 836 then use the remaining embedded stream to index a TSVQ codebook of the corresponding rate, e.g., by looking up the reproduction vector in the corresponding rate TSVQ decoder 836 codebook.
- a TSVQ codebook of the corresponding rate e.g., by looking up the reproduction vector in the corresponding rate TSVQ decoder 836 codebook.
- TSVQs achieves computation scalability proportional to the bandwidth of network 220 as the computation performed in lookups is different for different TSVQ codebooks and scales proportionately with the depth of the tree.
- the streaming of scalable multimedia data which includes a base layer and at least one enhancement layer by server 210 enables client computer 231 to select different MMGs in search of the best match with the bandwidth of network 220 .
- encoder 510 of FIG. 5A provides a single predetermined base layer BL 1 and an associated range of enhancement layers EL( 2 - 1 ), EL( 3 - 1 ), EL( 4 - 1 ), the ability of encoder 510 to adapt to the actual needs of client computer 231 , 232 , . . . 239 is limited to growing and pruning enhancement layers EL( 2 - 1 ), EL( 3 - 1 ), EL( 4 - 1 ).
- expanded encoder 500 b includes decompression stage 554 , compression stages 552 , 578 , 574 , interpolation stages 558 , 564 , and summation stages 572 , 576 in addition to encoder 510 .
- server 210 is now able to provide one or more MMGs with a choice from two or more different base layers, upon request by anyone of client computers 231 , 232 , . . . 239 .
- server 210 upon a request for a higher content base layer when the lowest bandwidth actually used by any one of client computers 231 , 232 , . . . 239 , corresponds to image 12 ′, server 210 begins providing MMGs with base layer BL( 2 ), thereby eliminating the need for combining base layer BL 1 with EL( 2 - 1 ) to generate 12 ′.
- FIGS. 6B and 6C show decoding circuits 600 b and 600 c , for generating reconstructed image I 3 ′ from different base layers BL( 1 ) and BL( 2 ), respectively.
- decoding circuit 600 b which exists in decoder 600 a , reconstructs image I 1 ′ by combining base layer BL( 1 ) with enhancement layer EL( 3 - 1 ), while decoding circuit 600 c reconstructs image I 3 ′ by combining base layer BL( 2 ) with enhancement layer EL( 3 - 2 ).
- decoder 600 a by expanding decoder 600 a to include the additional decoding functionality, such as the functionality provided by decoding circuit 600 c , the expanded version of decoder 660 a is now capable of receiving a higher content base layer, e.g., BL( 2 ), thereby further improving network efficiency.
- a higher content base layer e.g., BL( 2 )
- FIGS. 9 and 10 are flowcharts illustrating the adaptive right-sizing of a multimedia stream being transmitted, via a single multicast group, from a server 210 to one or more of client computers 231 , 232 , . . . 239 .
- server 210 may optionally send information about the content of the multimedia stream to client computers 231 , 232 , . . . 239 .
- server 210 streams the multimedia data which includes a base layer and at least one enhancement layer to the multicast group.
- Server 210 also listens for feedback on the use of and/or the need for the multimedia data from one or more of client computers 231 , 232 , . . . 239 (step 920 ).
- the current base layer may be replaced by a lower content or a higher content base layer.
- the enhancement layers may be grown or pruned. The right-sizing process is repeated until the multicast of the stream is complete (step 940 ).
- server 210 streams a first base layer and a first at least one enhancement layer of the multimedia data to a first multicast group.
- server 210 streams a second base layer and a second at least one enhancement layer of the multimedia data to a second multicast group (step 1120 ). Note that either the first and second base layers, or the first and second at least one enhancement layers, respectively, need to be different.
